Not their denial
Not their forgetfulness
Not their anger, nor your frustration
Not their confusion
Not their willful obstinacy
Not their incontinence
Not their inconsistency
Not their inability to recognize you
Not their malaise
Not their depression
So, remember this as you care for your loved one
Nothing lasts forever,
Not their smile
Not their laughter
Not their wisdom
Not their courage
Not your connection
Cherish the good,
Forgive the bad
What will last is the love
And that will live on…forever
Can you come here for a minute
